Weird Shaped Almond M&M's. When weighing my snacks, I accidently let this M&M fell on the table, but it was the weird shaped one. Reminds me of a plush I have.

Happy Fall! 🍁 My favorite fall time treat is definitely chocolate, and I really like the variety of fall flavors that Dallmann Fine Confections has in their Fall Collection!

Posted @withregram • @openingchocolate I was out pruning my berry bushes today in much anticipated future harvest. It got me thinking about raspberries. . So I popped open this #vegan white chocolate raspberry bar from @solkiki_chocolatemaker . Using a undeodorized cocoa butter from Madagascar and raspberries from Germany their low process bar is not quite as smooth as some but will deliver a tangy fruity pop that hits the spot. . Come on summer. . #chocolate #veganchocolate #veganwhitechocolate #beantobar #solkiki #finechocolate #craftchocolate #raspberries #summerberry #fruity #yum #yummy #chocolatereview #tastings #openingchocolate https://www.instagram.com/p/COn2dGkj-BT/?igshid=6r9c7bdlrpj3

From my perspective: When your having a little under the weather days. You; play solo games in bed, you do go out and get a few things for the work week, oh and new to me chocolate is always good. Just tried a salted caramel Twix bar. It tasted like a Twix with a little salt on it. Really nothing to run out and find. Lucky for me it was near the register. #frommyperspective #foodreview #twixbar #chocolatereview (at Old Town In Kissimee, Fl) https://www.instagram.com/p/CabB1narI85/?utm_medium=tumblr

Post: #898 So recently, I had ordered some chocolates that were supposed to be given as a return gift to my family and friends who had attended a very special function in my family. I remembered a dear blogger friend Swati ( @thisfascinatingworld2 ) whose Mom ( @anumildsweets )makes these awesome homemade chocolates. I placed an order for 60 boxes of chocolates. The same were delivered to me in nice sweet and cutely done boxes, perfect for the occasion and that too it was delivered on time. The boxes are very reasonably priced at Rs. 40/- , Rs. 60/- , Rs. 80/- and so on. The chocolate were of different shapes and sizes and of 4 different categories, because I specifically asked for it. So, I had Dark chocolate, Milk chocolate and White chocolate and also Dark & Milk Chocolate fused together in one chocolate. Verdict: The chocolates were not very sweet like Cadbury's but mildly sweetend and I really loved it because one could eat it more without feeling guilty🤭😬 Quite happy with what was delivered to me. If you want to place an order for these homemade chocolate then get in touch with @anumildsweets or @thisfascinatingworld2 Swipe left ⏪⏪ till end to see the collection 🍬🎁 Also, keep an eye for my special 900th post... coming very soon.😇 . . . . ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Connect with me for some interesting Food Fiesta. ☑️Instagram: ©therestlessmind ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩ ☑️Zomato: ©therestlessmind ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩ ☑️Facebook: ©therestlessmind ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩ ☑️ Twitter: ©thereztlessmind ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩ ☑️ Tubbrr: ©therestlessmind (link in bio) ⏩⏩⏩⏩ ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . . . . . #namingceremony #homemadechocolates #anumildsweets #thisfascinatingworld2 #sweettooth #sinfulindulgence #chocolatereview #chocolatelover #foodphotography #dessertgasm #MuMbaifoodie #indianfoodie #foodbossindia #nycfoodie #foodtalkindia #dailyfoodfeed #MuMbaikar #TUBBRInfluencer #MyMuMbai #foodblogger #foodnetwork #indianfoodbloggers #ds15lifestyle #shivanya #trm #therestlessmind #therestlessmindphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B5hSjMyHipP/?igshid=ka12auxsyre1

#Repost @distinguishedbeans with @get_repost ・・・ 🍫❤️ this week for Red: the Brazil Catongo 70% bar from @elbuencacao has a striking color - much lighter than other bars of the same percentage (shown in the first photo next to Maya Mountain Belize 70%), and with a distinctly reddish hue. This results from the unique characteristics of Catongo cacao, a variety of forastero which, due to a genetic mutation, lacks some of the chemical compounds that typically contribute darker color, bitterness, and astringency. It has a delicate, mild flavor that makes it highly sought after. El Buen Cacao features a rotating selection of origins and I don’t see this bar available right now (check out their other bars though!). So, if you are curious to try Catongo, look for the bar made by @gallettechocolates It is bean-to-bar in Brazil! . Side note - I got these four El Buen Cacao bars from @cococlectic - a monthly bean-to-bar chocolate subscription service. So glad they introduced me to this awesome company! . . . #chocolate #beantobar #bean2bar #beantobarchocolate #craftchocolate #artisanchocolate #smallbatchchocolate #singleoriginchocolate #singleorigin #originchocolate #darkchocolate #chocolat #chocolatebars #chocolatetasting #chocolatetastingnotes #cacao #fineflavorcacao #cacaofinodearoma #cacaobeans #cocoa #cocoabeans #chocolatereview #chocolatereviews #tttt_rainbow #tttt_red #brazil #catongo #cacau #cacaucatongo https://www.instagram.com/p/CFK47kQjkQx/?igshid=11xzxlhe6yig

I finally tried these almond M&M's and they are a sleeper hit. Peanut M&M's are okay, but I liked these more. But I wish they had these in a smaller bag.
Which are your favs? You can comment if you want.

#M&Ms #M&MsPretzelChocolateShareSizePack #ChocolateReview
I tried the M&M's Pretzel Chocolate Share Size Pack and it was pretty good.
This chocolate didn't taste artificial to me and the pretzel gave the sweet chocolate a light salty taste that went well with the chocolate.
This was crunchy from the outer shell and pretzel in texture.
These were sweet and salty but not overly of both to me.
I would eat these again.
Got at Gordons clearance.

#Godiva #GodivaMilkChocolateDomesCrispyHazelnut #GodivaDoubleDarkChocolateDomes #ChocolateReview
I tried the Godiva Milk Chocolate Domes Crispy Hazelnut and Godiva Double Dark Chocolate Domes chocolates. Both were really good, and both were crispy. The milk chocolate tasted similar to a Ferrero Rocher while the double dark chocolate tasted like a dark chocolate Ferrero Rocher but replace the hazelnut with a crunchy cookie like thing inside. I would eat these again.
Got both at Dollar Tree.

Review & Ranking of 8 Caramel Chocolates you can buy at a NZ Supermarket
Tumblr media
Today we reviewed and ranked 8 caramel chocolates you can buy from a New Zealand supermarket.  We made sure it was the runny caramel type, not caramel chunks or the dulce de leche thicker caramel filling.  There is a mixture of milk and dark chocolates. From left to right in the photo, we reviewed: Cadbury Old Gold Caramel Hersheys Kisses Caramel Lindt Caramel Squares Dark with Sea Salt Caramel Whittakers Dark Salted Caramel Lindt Caramel Squares Milk Chocolate Whittakers Creamy Caramel Nestle Rolo Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramello How did we rank them? Find out at the end of the reviews. Cadbury Dairy Milk and Old Gold Caramels 190 g blocks
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cadbury Old Gold Caramel   Bought at Pak n Save for $2.99 Caramel 30% Cocoa Solids 47% Sugars per 25g serving size is 12.7g Fairly easy to break off a row with a good snap.  It has a faint chocolate aroma. Tasting the caramel by itself, we found the caramel had a nice flavor.  Eating it with the chocolate, we found we were mainly tasting the chocolate and had to hunt for the caramel taste. There was not much melt in the mouth. The aftertaste had a hint of dark chocolate bitterness. We do like the flavor of Cadbury caramello, they use the same caramel it seems for both the milk and dark chocolate.  We weren't really fans of the dark chocolate and it drowned out the caramel.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramello Bought at  New World for $3.49 Caramel 30% Cocoa Solids 27% Milk Solids 24% Sugars per 25g serving size is 13.4g A little hard to break off a row.  The caramel by itself is a nice flavor and is the same as what is in the Old Gold.  Eating it all together, it melts nicely.  It is very sweet, and the sweetness does overtake the caramel flavor a bit.   We do find Cadbury milk chocolate a bit overly sweet, but their caramel is yum.   Whittakers Creamy Caramel and Dark Salted Caramel 250g
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both bought at New World for $5.09 each Whittakers Dark Salted Caramel Caramel 36% Cocoa Solids 62% Sugars per 25g single serve is 9.2g The caramel by itself is salty sweetness with a slight caramel taste.  There is a slight melt in the mouth when tasting it with the dark chocolate, and the taste is a slight bitter dark chocolate with a salty overlay.  We don't taste the caramel flavor.   The aftertaste is dark chocolate with a hint of salt. This is not as nice as its milk chocolate counterpart.  The caramel flavor is overpowered by the dark chocolate and you are just getting the saltiness.  The caramel flavor itself is not as nice as the milk chocolate version either.
Whittakers Creamy Caramel Caramel 36% Cocoa Solids 33% Milk Powder 30% Sugars per 25g serving size 8.9g This has an aroma of cocoa and milk.  The caramel by itself has a nice butterscotchy flavor.  It is easy to break off a row.  When you eat it all together, it melts in the mouth and you can take creamy chocolate with a touch of butterscotch.  The aftertaste is sweetness. This is a nice caramel block.  The chocolate is nice and the caramel is yummy, and there is a nice balance of yummy flavors when you eat it all together.  
Lindt Milk Chocolate Caramel Squares and Lindt Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Squares 
​124g pouch with 8 individually wrapped squares
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bought at New World for $5.99 each Lindt Milk Chocolate Caramel Squares Caramel 30% Cocoa Solids 30% Milk Solids 20% Sugars per 16g serving size is 8.3g The aroma is milky and slightly cocoa. The caramel by itself is quite thick and sweet. It does have a caramel flavor. Eating it all together, it slightly melts in the mouth and there is a sweetness taste with hints of chocolate and caramel.   The aftertaste is sweetness. These are nice.  The flavors for us were diluted by the sweetness overall. We liked eating  the squares, taking bites like little biscuits.
Lindt Dark Chocolate Squares with Sea Salt Caramel Caramel 30% Cocoa Solids 47% Sugars per 16g serving size 7.6g The aroma is dark chocolate. The caramel itself is runny, a nice caramel flavor with a slight saltiness. Eating it all together, it slightly melts in the mouth. It gives a good chocolate hit mixed in with the salted caramel flavor.  The balance of chocolate, caramel flavors and sweetness are really good.   These are super yummy.  We would usually lean towards milk chocolate over dark, but these are so good, so flavorsome.
Hershey's Caramel Kisses
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bought from New World at $4.49 Caramel 37% Cocoa Solids 28% Milk Solids 26% Sugars per 28g serving size is 15.6g The aroma is sweetness.  The caramel by itself is sweetness with a hint of caramel flavor.  Together there is a slight melt in the mouth.  It is sweet with some chocolate flavor and a slight caramel taste.  The aftertaste is sweetness. These are a nice gift.  We like the idea of chocolate kisses and the packaging is great.  They are a bit overly sweet for our tastes.
Nestle Rolo 200g Block
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bought at New World for $3.09 Caramel 25% Cocoa Solids 22% Milk Solids 25% Sugars per 28.5g serving size is 16.2g It is easy to break off a double row.  It has a milky, slight caramel fragrance.   The caramel itself tastes of sweetness with a hint of caramel.  There is a slight melt in the mouth eating it all together.  It is sweet and has a nice chocolate flavour, but the caramel taste didn't punch through.   This is very sweet, but the chocolate does have a nice flavor.  It was okay.
FINAL RANKINGS OF 8 CARAMEL CHOCOLATES
Lindt Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Squares
Whittakers Creamy Caramel Block
Lindt Milk Chocolate Caramel Squares
Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramello
Hershey's Caramel Kisses

Posted @withregram • @amberleycharlottewrites This poem was inspired by @solkiki_chocolatemaker: Samphire 67 % Dark Chocolate Bar. This one took me on an emotional roller coaster. I hope you enjoy the bar and the poem. He has a secret The air is salty yet sweet The smoke from neighboring chimneys bring memories of happier times The lake shimmers as the sun sets It’s almost perfect But He has a secret Is there someone else? I’m scared Hand in Hand we walk in silence stopping at the gazebo My heart pounds Is this the end? No, it’s just the beginning I said yes!

Cadbury Dairy Milk with Pascall Clinkers
Tumblr media
SPECIAL EDITION Bought at Pak n Save for $2.99 170g block Clinkers candy pieces 8% Cocoa Solids 27% Milk Solids 24% Sugars per 25g serving size is 14.5g Made in Tasmania Australia We don't always buy these novelty type blocks, but Joni remembers Clinkers with fondness.  If you have never tried them, they are like a hard Eskimo lolly with a bit more fruity flavor punch, covered in chocolate.  They have different fruit flavors, and you didn't know what flavor you would get until you bit into them. In New Zealand you can't find them in the supermarkets anymore, but I did find you could buy them online from the Remarkable Sweet Shop NZ. It smells like Clinkers and it tastes like a mix of different flavored Clinkers.  The Clinkers add a nice crunch and the balance of Clinkers and chocolate is quite good.  The aftertaste? CLINKERS! ​ This block was actually a bit of fun.  Don't buy it for a serious chocolate tasting experience, but for  the yummy Clinker bits, and a bit of nostalgic fondness.

Tasting Whittakers Cocoa Pods with Hazelnut Gianduja
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We picked up another new release from Whittakers, a new addition to their gifting pouch range.  Whittakers Cocoa Pods with Ghanaian Cocoa beans and Hazelnut Gianduja. We  looked up what the difference was between Gianduja and Praline and thanks to www.hotelchocolat.com we found the answer.  You can click on the link to a really good article explaining what they are and what the differences are.  We learnt, Praline can be made with a variety of different nuts, whereas Gianduja is made with hazelnuts, almonds or both and chocolate or cocoa will be added to the paste. Gianduja is also always smooth. Whittakers Cocoa Pods come in a 125g pouch with 10 individually wrapped pods. Bought at Pak n Save for $8.99 Cocoa Solids 33% Milk Powder 30% Sugars in a 12.5g serving size is 4.8g. The shape is of a Cacao pod, and they are a decent size. The chocolate is the yummy Whittakers Creamy Milk chocolate that we like.  The center melts in the mouth and is very creamy.  It is not an instant hit of hazelnut, but it comes through while eating and you are left with an aftertaste of sweetness and hazelnut. These are nice.  There are similar, hazelnut filling, choccies out there, and these are among the nicer ones.  They are not especially unique.  We wouldn't just go out and buy them for ourselves, but if someone were to give them as a gift, we would be happy.

A Baron Hasselhoff’s Tasting Adventure
Tumblr media
We have started our exploration adventure into the Bean to Bar chocolatiers that aren't available in the supermarket.  These are smaller, craft chocolate makers, that are scattered around  the cities and towns in New Zealand.
Today we are trying 3 craft chocolate bars from Baron Hasselhoff's.
Why did the we choose Baron Hasselhoff's first?  The Name!!
How great is the name Baron Hasselhoff?!!
Of course we did have imaginings of David Hasselhoff running slow motion on the beach and driving Kit with a very large curling moustache.  (For the odd person  who don't know who 'The Hoff' is.  This is a reference to an actor who starred in Baywatch and Knight Rider as well the awesome SpongeBob Movie).
Baron Hasselhoff's Emporium is located in Wellington and we bought our chocolate from their website:
www.baronhasselhoffs.com
They are currently offering free shipping on orders over $30.
Their Video and Story on their website about Baron Hasselhoff is very funny, most notably, (though not mentioned): Baron Hasselhoff wears roman sandals and socks.
On the back of each bar we bought, is a little story of Baron Hasselhoff's adventures and how each of these chocolate bars came about.  
We bought:  
Baron Hasselhoff's Hazelnut & Malt Bar
Baron Hasselhoff's Drunkin' Donuts
Baron Hasselhoff's Le Breakfast Bar
​They are packaged in cardboard with a biodegradable and compostable foil inner.
REVIEWS & RANKINGS
Third: Baron Hasselhoff's Drunkin' Donuts​
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This third place is debatable. Big Bruce had to be called in as Joni and Johanan disagreed where this should be placed. For Joni, this was second, but Big Bruce and Johanan said this is because she is the alcoholic of the family. Baron Hasselhoff's Drunkin' Donuts states it is a cinnamon donut & rum dark chocolate bar.  The Cacao content is 65% and it is Fair Trade, Organic, Peru-Piura Cacao. The ingredients do have listed, Donuts, Cinnamon, and Rum. Sugar content per 17.5g serving size is: 8.4g Cost: $12.50 for a 70g bar. According to the story on the back, Baron Hasselhoff came up with this recipe when he had to escape jail by spiking the guard's donuts with Venezuelan rum. There is a snappy break, and it smells like cocoa.   It takes a bit to melt in the mouth, and the taste is rummy, fruity and sweetish chocolate. It is a nice balance of these flavors. There is a small sugar possibly donut, crunch.  We had to hunt for the cinnamon, but there is a hint of it.  The taste disappears quite fast, but there is a slight rum and cinnamon aftertaste. We liked it...... Joni liked it better. Second: Baron Hasselhoff's Hazelnut & Malt Bar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The story on the back states the cacao is from the Conacado Cooperative in the Dominican Republic with notes of red fruit and chocolate brownie, South Island hazelnuts and dehydrated malt powder.  It is a limited edition bar crafted by Chocolatier Grainne Kerr as a leaving gift. Cacao content: 47% There is no nutritional information on this bar. Cost: $13 for 70g bar. It smells like cocoa.  It is easy to break off a couple of rows and it melts easily in the mouth. There is not an instant hit, but rather a growing taste of a nice chocolate flavor with honey overtones.  We didn't really taste the hazelnut.  The aftertaste is the same and lingers awhile. This was a pleasant bar, with a nice flavor.  I don't think we would buy it again, but we are glad we tried it and we liked it.  Joni would just like to state she would buy Drunkin' Donuts again. First:  Baron Hasselhoff's Le Breakfast Bar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he bar states it is Coffee & Croissant Dark Milk Chocolate. It has an 'Outstanding NZ 2021 Food Producer, Life & Leisure', Silver Award on the front. The story on the back says the recipe came about as the Baron's answer to rescue a French town from their getting nothing done.  Apparently they were sitting in cafes all day long.  As the Chocolate Gazette are very fond of Tweed Caps, we were particularly anxious to read about the beret factory being completely deserted. The Cacao is Fair Trade, Organic cacao from the Domican Republic. Cacao content is: 50% Sugar content per serving size of 17.5g is: 9.8g The ingredients does have listed, coffee beans and croissants. Cost: $12.50 for a 70g bar. There is a nice snap as you break off a row.  Its smells of coffee. It slightly melts in the mouth, and there is a slight crunch as you chew and taste real coffee beans surrounded by a faint chocolate flavor.  We do not taste croissant, but the texture of the chocolate is nice.  The aftertaste lingers a little and is of coffee beans. This bar is YUM!!  If you love coffee and chocolate, you will love this.  We like how the coffee beans are ground up for easy eating, and it is so full of real coffee flavor. This has jumped into Joni's top 5 of all time. (Currently rated third). Our little adventure into Baron Hasselhoff's Chocolate was just so fun and yummy. There is so much more on the website to explore.  We will be doing a Chocolate Adventure trip down to the lower North Island, and this is marked down as one of the places to visit. We are looking forward to seeing more of Baron Hasselhoff's chocolate in the future.
